XIII Kings
September 29, 2015
Why won't the King answer my calls
He's content, dwelling on his throne
The jester juggles and plays in his court
He doesn't laugh cuz he isn't the sort
I'm standing just outside his gate
Listening, waiting for a sign from fate
If I enter, will he say "I should have kept her"
Or "Guards, why did you let her?"
Or will he hold out his scepter
I want him to hold out his scepter
